KILLING TIME 

I sit here in my chair, feeling bored, but I don’t care 
Look out the window and watch the world go by 
Today is not my day, but I get older anyway 
I’ll have a cigarette, I’m just killing time 

I lie here on my bed, feeling lonely, feeling sad 
Stare at the paper and watch the world go by 
You think yesterday’s a curse? Well, today is even worse 
I’ll have a whisky, I’m just killing time 
 [bad word]  
It’s the only thing I know, it’s the only thing I do 
Since the day you left me I’m a wreck because of you 
It’s the only thing I know, it’s the only thing I do 
Since you left me I’m just killing time 

At the waterside, salty wind burns in my eyes 
I count the waves and watch the world go by 
I’m out here all alone, by myself, just on my own 
I’ll have a brandy, I’m just killing time 

I sit here by the phone, wonder if someone’s at home 
Don’t feel like calling, I’ll watch the world go by 
On the news it’s still the same, it’s all blood and war and shame 
I’ll smoke a big one, I’m just killing time 
 [bad word]  

It’s just around four when someone’s knocking on my door 
I open up to see these friend of mine  [bad word] in with a cheer, saying: “Hey, let’s have a beer!” 
Down at the pub we’ll be killing time 

It’s the only thing we know, it’s the only thing we do 
Since the day you left us we’re wrecked because of you 
It’s the only thing we know, it’s the only thing we do 
Since you left us, we’re just killing time
